Hello,

thanks for your answers and the help of Mats and Christian.


With their help and the URL
http://http://www.virtualconcepts.nl/xenbackports.php
I recognized that initrd was not started at all,
as the kernel config file did not define
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD.

Basically, the kernel config file should contain something like

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=8192
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y

to enable initrd

May be that is of any help for others.

Regards
Reiner
Why are you hand-building your own kernels? Or why not start with the kernel config files of a known working distribution?
